Hi Kenlau

Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one. 

Have you made any progress,  or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hiya Kenlau,

I tried Griffiths Valuation of Ireland for the surname Cambridge in Co. Monaghan www.failteromhat.com There was no one with that surname shown as a head of a household in Co. Monaghan at that time although there was a John in the small town of Dromore, Co. Tyrone in 1851. There was also a John at Peter's Church Lane, Cork in the Parish of St Peter in 1851-3. If John was still living and had moved then a move to Tyrone would make more sense to me than a move to Cork.

Would the church where Thomas and Catherine married be St James Church, Crinken, Dublin? It is a Church of Ireland (Anglican Church) built in 1840. www.crinken.com I will go back to the drawing board if you tell me they were of the Catholic persuasion. Catherine's second given name Taft indicates that there may be a Taft connection. The Valuation offered a William Taft in Co. Antrim in 1861-2.

All the Best, Christopher
